Girls frontman Christopher Owens grew up in the Children of God cult. His older brother died as a baby because the cult didn't believe in medical attention. His dad left. He and his mother lived around the world, and the cult sometimes forced his mother to prostitute herself. As a teenager, Owens fled and lived as a Texas gutter-punk for a while. Then a local millionaire took Owens under his wing, and Owens moved to San Francisco. There, he and Chet "JR" White formed Girls, and recorded Album, their debut album, under the influence of just about every kind of pill they could find.

Some tracks from the latest Girls album..."Album"
Shit, the lead singer's song is sad as shit. I'll just quote some stuff from somewhere else for laziness' sake.

catchy song - "Hip Hop" by N.A.S.A.
I was lookin for Karen O and the Kids (Karen O's from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and this was one of the first videos to come up. Pretty good. Karen O and the Kids are doing the soundtrack to the Where the Wild Things Are movie...
where the wild things are is going to be GREAT
Man, i have a wee-bit of an emotional reaction every time i watch anything to do with this movie. It's like when i read velveteen rabbit or hear puff the magic dragon (i can't take either of those).

Nice video by the Antlers
The Antlers, from Brooklyn, are, I'd have to say, my new favourite band. "Hospice" is a heartbreaking album that's beautiful, poignant and just so easy to listen to (over and over again). This song is "Two," from the aforementioned album.
For fear of seeming obsessive, here's a nice "unplugged" version...kinda nice actually, the guy's voice is rad.

Man i love horror movie deaths - especially, the "cut/slide"
This shit's great...just so gruesome. You have to wonder if this is how it'd really go if something sharp cut through you fully.
The most epic trailer EVER - Legion
This is redband, so you've gotta prove you're old enough...just change 2009 to 1981 or whatever...anyway, this looks like it could be freakin amazing or pathetically cheesy. I'm guessing it might be the latter, but still, this trailer is worth the watch...

Smart smart smart
This is a nice and subtle ad done by Toyota (but you wouldn't really know it) in which they use a car to create a font. I love how they play it off as a creative/artistic endeavour without focussing on the car and ruining the innovation.

Mind fuck of the day...
...this is weird. Awesome and weird. The music's pretty rad and the animation is really well done.

Sweet wu-tang lego music video
Lego videos have done a good job of bringing new hilarity or infamy to a lot of things. From Eddie Izzard's penne arrabiata (done by a 15 year old) to this sweet lego wu-tang video...

Does creativity work?
This is a cool video these guys did to try to show the power of creativity. they use some funny words and instantly it's all over the damn internet. It can be more accurately described as the power of ebay...

Alyssa Milano workout video
Everything about this screams porno....the soft-focus, cheesy music, her touselled hair and awkward closeups and the name of the damn video is Teen Steam?! Teen Steam? jesus! There's three more of these videos too...
UPDATE: after watching more of the first one, i decided i should put the remaining two videos. I skipped ahead in the first one to about halfway and Alyssa was doing some sort of squat that was about as pornographic as you could get...so for all you pervs out there, here are the other two...
